iPad 2 upgraders - what did it cost you?

Those of us who sold our iPad 2s for the latest version are all taking a monetary hit of some kind. Just curious how much of a hit that was. For me, the bottom line was $187 to upgrade from a 32GB AT&T 3G to a 32GB Wifi only.

I do think I sold my iPad2 for a little less than I could have gotten, but the launch was fast approaching and I was worried about prices falling off a cliff.

Of course I did take a downgrade from 3G to Wifi and a leather Smart Cover to a Poly one. But in the year that I owned it I used 3G maybe three or four times, and I now have an iPhone for tethering, so I really doubt I'll miss it.

For me, $187 for a massive display upgrade, (likely) more RAM, better processor etc, (and only losing AT&T service that I never used anyway) is a great deal.

Sold my 16gig wifi+ grey poly and incase lounge case(loved it) for $450 on Craigslist over a month ago for $450.

Purchased "The New iPad" 16gig black plus DARK grey smart cover.

$132 upgrade with tax and everything.

Part of me thinks I could have got the $450 without throwing in the smart cover. Dude I sold it to never even looked at it. But I really wanted that dark grey after it came out.

Also orderd a 9000 mAh battery ($59) for my powebag. If you carry your iPad in a backpack you should check them out. They have a built in charging system for smartphones and stuff. Has connectors for iOS, mini USB, micro USB, and an extra USB port for anything else. It comes with a 3000mAh battery that will charge up an iPhone twice, iPad 50%. You can swap out the battery cartridges so I ordered a 9000mAh so when I'm out of the house with my iPad I'll have 12000mAh of extra juice. Also the powebag has a special iPad pouch. It's great for motorcycle trips

Damn, you guys got good deals.
I sold my 32gb wifi for $450 at the end of February and just bought the 32gb wifi for $650 after tax so I spent $200. I made money off of selling my iPhone 4 for 4S so I'm not THAT happy with spending $200 to upgrade. Still got to keep my Smart Cover and sleeve so accessories are taken care of at least

I sold my iPad 1 32gb wifi for $325.00 last week thursday with the original Apple case that was given to me.

I had the iPad since day one and just ordered the new one a 16gb wifi.
So it cost me about $175 plus tax to own it for 2 years.
Plus I wrote it off as a business expense.
I'm still in shock of the resale value of these things.
